About

I study the fundamental nature of quantum physics and predictability and how to manipulate quantum information in applied quantum computing research. In my current role, I lead a group focused on collaborations to experimentally show the best science we can do with quantum computers today. Additionally, I founded and lead a team called Qiskit Metal, which makes making quantum hardware processors easy by developing a software called Qiskit Metal that is widely used by the community.
